Keep on keepin' on

an you believe that finals are in a few weeks? Me either! And then in class today we realized that winter break is almost a month long while spring break is only a week long and even the teacher agreed that that is incredibly unfair. It would be nice to have more time off when the weather is nice-ish. However, do not get me wrong, dear reader, I am most certainly not complaining about getting almost an entire month off of school after this hellish term! Thing is, after almost a month everything I learned this term will no doubt be completely gone from my brain. Thats a definite problem I have - utter lack of ability to retain information. Except song lyrics. Im pretty damn good at memorizing those.

Ok, one more thing about school and then lets talk quickly about things that are more fun: I was looking around the class today and was kind of shocked at the number of people that have, for one reason or another, quit the program already. I knew it would happen eventually, you know, the herd thinning and all that, but I thought it would take longer. Granted, our statics class is definitely challenging, but did these people think that engineering was a breeze? The one class that I am worried about most for myself in the program is the surveying class and this is only for stupid shallow reasons like a) I do not care to tromp around in the great outdoors measuring things and b) I do not care to tromp around in the great outdoors measuring things. This is something I can overcome temporarily.

Anywho.

Things that are more fun to discuss:
After spending much of the day on Saturday doing homework, I decided to treat myself to a night of relaxing and enjoying some adult beverages. This turned into a last minute decision to sing Karaoke at a VERY popular Karaoke spot in North Portland. The place was PACKED. The KJ informed me that I would likely not get to sing, but I put my song in anyway. Luckily, the venue was big enough that I could wait for my turn far enough away from where everyone was singing that I didnt have to sit through drunken renditions of the same stupid songs that everyone decides to butcher in unison with all of their stupid drunk friends. As the place emptied out my name moved quickly up the list. The bar was still so loud by the time it was my turn that I couldnt hear myself no matter how loudly I sang. Meh. The night was still fun. My drunken friends and I definitely pissed off our cab driver later in the night, but all in all, the evening was a great time and I decided not to feel guilty about my hangover the next day.

If I had three wishes for tonight they would be: a bubble bath, a peppermint paddy (hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps) and Dexter Season 3.
